On british Columbia's Pacific coast, there is a herd of sea wolves.
McAllister said: "We know from exhaustive DNA studies that these wolves are genetically distinct from their continental compatriots.
"They behave very differently, swimming from island to island, preying on marine animals." Ian McAllister is an award-winning photographer who has been studying these animals for nearly 20 years.
McAllister captured the magic of these wolves during the photo shoot.
As he swam toward them, "curious canine teeth were so close to him that he could hear them purring and purring. He took a few pictures, then was pushed back into the deeper water, afraid to look up.
One could almost refer to these sea wolves as "Aries" – 90 percent of their food comes directly from the ocean, and a quarter of it comes from salmon eating. In addition to having unique food patterns, sea wolves are also excellent swimmers, and their furthest record is swimming on an archipelago 7.5 miles from the nearest land.
